This weekend I saw 27 Dresses (don't ask. It was free and I didn't pick it). It was actually better than expected (though still, completely predictable and generic), but the thing that struck me most was how charming James Marsden is in it. He's adorable and funny and has great chemistry with Katherine Heigl (who, I must admit, I like in these Rom-Coms. Am I just getting old and soft?). He was also one of my favorite things about the new version of Hairspray, and I got to wondering, why has he become the next Bill Pullman rather than a genuine, Hugh Grant type romantic leading man? Can anyone explain this to me? Please?

Interesting - I never liked James Marsden because I thought he was "too pretty" or whatever. Then I saw him in "Hairspray" and he completely won me over. Now I think he's "pretty hot." I still haven't seen that dress movie though. I've been in 9 weddings, so I'm familiar with that little corner of hell.
